Loug- Lived PLUM TREES 
ONCE PLANTED...WILL LIVE FOR YEARS 
From the many varieties of Plums developed through the 
years, we have selected those best suited to average conditions. 
They do best in rich, heavy, well-drained soil. No home orchard 
is complete without several trees to give fresh fruit for eating 
as well as an abundance for jams and jellies.

BRUCE 
STANLEY PRUNE 
An improved Prune, introduced by the 
New York Experiment Station and con- 
sidered by many as the best. Large, firm, 
dark blue, juicy, fine grained, tender, sweet, 
and of the very best quality. Also being 
planted commercially for local processing 
plants or for central fresh fruit markets. 
Late August. 
GREEN GAGE 
(he famous large green dessert Plum with 
that sweet tart flavor. Flesh is fine, firm 
and juicy. Holds up for canning and ship- 
ping. Trees bear young. Hardy and excel- 
lent producers. 
BRUCE 
The best Iarge red Plum grown in the 
South. The tree is very healthy, bears very 
young and produces loads of Plums nearly as 
large as a hen’s egg. It ripens early in June. 
Other varieties of Plums must be planted 
with Bruce for pollination. In commercial 
plantings, we recommend planting one 
pollinater to 20 Bruce. 
SAPA PLUM-CHERRY 
A home orchard would not be complete 
without at least one Sapa Plum tree. Ripens 
the last of June and is a tremendous pro- 
ducer. It is medium in size and has rich, 
dark purplish red flesh. High sugar content 
makes it the very best jelly plum. Good 
pollinator. 
SHROPSHIRE DAMSON 
This strain represents the very highest 
type for this variety, having been selected 
for its early bearing and heavy annual pro- 
duction. Fruit small, oval; skin purple with 
blue bloom. Flesh juicy, rather tart. Partly 
freestone.

pollinator for Burbank. 
BURBANK 
An annual, early, heavy bearer. Hardy, 
succeeding in any soil. Fruit large, round, 
dark red with Itlac bloom. Flesh amber; rich 
sugary flavor. Small stone. Plant with 
Abundance to insure proper pollination.

soils and climates and bear not only heavily 
but yearly. Mottled garnet-red color over- 
laid with delicate bloom; firm, light yellow 
flesh, aromatic and sweet. The trees are 
large, | vigorous, hardy and_ productive. 
Blooms late and fruit is very resistant to 
brown rot and curculia. Usually ripens a

good Oriental Plums.
